Community Cheetah Roadmap

Overview

The general intention of this document is to outline planned development for Community Cheetah

Cheetah v2.2

The v2.2 release of the Cheetah is a minor change as far as the code-level changes are concerned but has much farther reaching implications. These changes currently reside in the unicode branch

Moving internal representation of source inside the compiler/parser to unicode() objects instead of a potential mix of str() and unicode() objects
Modify the implications of the #encoding directive to determine the encoding to use when writing out the generated Python module

Cheetah v2.3

Still in planning

Planned for the third "major" release of Community Cheetah is an internal reworking of the Cheetah compiler/parser/template code and the resulting Python they generate.

Analyze runtime performance of template execution
Update internal objects to "new-style" objects to prepare for moving towards Python 3000
"Modernize" other aspects of Cheetah infrastructure
